It also served as a regional championship involving Southeast Asian basketball teams.

The three best teams at the end of the single round-robin tournament qualified for the 2015 FIBA Asia Championship[1][2] which was held in Changsha, Hunan, China from 23 September to 3 October 2015.

As early as Day 4, the Philippines, Malaysia and tournament host Singapore have secured the three slots for the Asian Championships.

The Philippines, who sent an all-amateur team with one naturalized player in Marcus Douthit, won their seventh title of the tournament without losing a single game.

The same venue was used for the 2015 Southeast Asian Games Basketball tournament a month later.
